Grants from the HCC Foundation

The HCC Foundation recognizes our faculty and staff members’ key role in achieving HCC’s mission. We support their efforts by providing grants for projects that advance student learning at HCC. Many faculty proposals request the Foundation’s financial support for projects to enhance HCC learning environments.
